Thursday, May 31st - into Glacier National Park

This morning I had to go to the local State Farm office here in Kalispell and take care of some life insurance business. Got that taken care of, stopped at Starbucks and when I got back to the camp, MA was ready to go.

We drove first to the Apgar Visitors Center at the west entrance to Glacier NP. The Going to the Sun Road was closed beyond Avalanche Creek. So we drove only as far as we could, stopping, taking pix the entire way, going & coming. I will post some of the pix when I get a strong Internet connection. We stopped for lunch at the Lake McDonald Lodge, situated on the north side of the lake. We love having meals in these old-style log lodges. This lodge was built in 1912.

After Glacier NP we drove to the town of Whitefish, made some cell calls (strong signal) and returned to our camp in Kalispell.

For dinner I broiled chicken breasts on the grill and MA cooked corn-on-the-con and made a great salad. We ate outdoors on the picnic table...delightful!!!
